(A) The city, by its agents, is hereby authorized to remove or have removed any vehicle left within the city corporate limits which reasonably appears to be in violation of § 95.21 or is lost, stolen or unclaimed. The vehicle shall be impounded until lawfully claimed or disposed of in accordance with the laws of the state.

The notice shall be given by any of the following methods:
(1) Affixing written notice on the vehicles;
(2) Sending notice by mail to the owner of the vehicle at his or her last known address if the owner is reasonably ascertainable;
(3) By sending notice by mail to the person owning or occupying the property on which the vehicle is located; or
(4) By notifying the owner of the vehicle or owner or occupant of the property in person.
(B) Any city police officer or city public safety employee may enter upon private property at all reasonable hours for the purpose of inspecting the vehicle, posting notice thereon, and removing and impounding the vehicle.
